So if we use the N number in the flight recorder then use that flight
recorder for a US contest we might have trouble with Winscore.
Winscore keys pilot identity off the Contest Number.

Maybe we request a modification and get winscore to read in either
contest ID or N Number and output Contest ID. [would need to add N
number record to the Contestant data].

Without this change it would be a major hassle to have to switch back
and forth between Contest ID and N Number. This could be mutually
exclusive if you wanted to do a declared task during a contest day.
